- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: [the Time Tunnel screen shows Tony and Doug held hostage by the Japanese] Clear the focus.
- Dr. Raymond Swain: This is the best we can do.
- Jerry - Technician: Well, look, we can't just leave them there to be murdered or killed in the bombing.
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: Is the time fix good enough to try for a transfer? Anyplace is better than where they are now.
- Dr. Ann MacGregor: No. With a drifting fix like this, we might kill them ourselves.
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: We've got to take the chance!
- Dr. Ann MacGregor: What's the matter, General?
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: Little Tony - he's gonna sleep over in the Neal house.
- Jerry - Technician: Well, I know, but it's *our* Tony we have to get out.
- Dr. Ann MacGregor: Oh, no, it can't be. It can't.
- Jerry - Technician: What? You mean if little Tony is killed, then our Tony might cease to exist?
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: Theoretically.
- Dr. Raymond Swain: Theory or not, the logical fact is that little Tony must have escaped. Tony lived to grow up.
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: "Logical". Who can be logical about something we know so little about?
- Dr. Ann MacGregor: Or there's the possibility that if our Tony dies in 1941, little Tony might cease to exist. We've got get them both out! Both Tony's!
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: Their lives are interlocked. Now, we've got to improve the time fix.
- Dr. Ann MacGregor: It'll be too late. Too late.
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: Jerry, someday you'll realize all men have to live with their past. It can't be changed.
